Air quality here in Granite City, IL compares to an exhaust pipe on a diesel truck

[@davidcollins7087]

Those poor poor people 😢

[@mercilessradio1770]

It hasnt been an issue for many years now. WR Grace is just trying to get out of their responsibilities to the people here.

[@redbullsauberpetronas]

They're still using it all over the world India and Russia especially

[@raybon7939]

Off the bat I notice that Libby is inside of a valley, with little air circulation

[@Doc1855]

We really Liked Libby and wanted to move there. My wife is a chemotherapy infusion nurse and if we moved there and went to work at the hospital as a chemotherapy infusion nurse, she would loose $1,400 per month in wages.

very sad, years and years of exposure. Cant even hangout outside

[@mercilessradio1770]

They are pushing the story so they can buy the land for pennies on the dollar. I have lived here for almost a decade with no issues. Most free and beautiful area I have ever been.

@@mercilessradio1770 a decade isnt a long time when dealing with asbestos exposure. The effects usually start showing after around 3 decades

I'm sorry but come to me when you have mesothelioma, then we can talk about financial compensation.

[@HabeasJ]

You could watch the whole video and see the lady who's whole family has mesothelioma?

1:38 the GUY saying hiw safe it is... saying asbestosis isnt so bad... people arent falling dead... I couldnt help but notice he had a "southern" accent!!! Wheres he from? And does he beleive everything the EPA and the Feds say? I need proof, ESPECIALLY WHEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE ON THE LINE.

[@davesmith4130]

That's not a southern accent, or at least I don't hear it

[@colinherzog1067]

Ya the other thing is it has a latency period of 20-50 years, meaning that’s how long it takes to experience symptoms🤦😂

[@Chironex_Fleckeri]

It's not a big story, sorry. It's sad but at least people there make it to their 60s.

[@KyrenaH]

60 is not that old.

[@io6027]

Still, think of the infant mortality rate. The rate of child mortalities. The rate of sudden heart attacks. That effects an economy greatly. Cripples it like a disease

[@Tomdelongpenis]

400 premature deaths yeah whatever
